Hargreaves, Sandra, 1946- (Added Author).

Summary:

This collection of study techniques was designed for dyslexic students in postsecondary education. A variety of strategies is offered for each learning situation.

"What an amazing resource! The book comes with a full-text CD-ROM to chance the font/colour/size, etc. for increased accessibility or to create worksheets or lesson notes, and the links to online examples were a jumping point for further exploration. Clearly written and easily conveyed to my adolescent student." – January 2011 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
